1 Claim. l

This invention relates to make-up jackets for use 'by ladies to protecttheir dresses from becoming soiled during the application of facialcosmetics.

.It is customary for ladies to complete their attire before applyinglipstick, rouge, powder and other facial Cosmetics, because lto don adress over the head after applying facial Cosmetics results in soilingof the dress by contact with the facial make-up and also disturbs themake-up, thus necessitating restoring the make-up.

The primary object of this invention is to provide a loosely fittingjacket for a lady to wear which completely overlies the Shoulders andthe upper portions of a dress to protect the dress from becoming so'iledduring the application of facial Cosmetics.

It is another object of this invention to provide a make-up Jackethaving a body of sufficient size to fit loosely on the body of a wearerand also providing overlapping inner edges at a medial opening in itsfront thus permitting freedom of body movements of the person wearingthe jacket in applying facial cosmetics with the inner edges of thejacket remaining in overlapped relationship.

It is another object of this invention to provide a make-up jacketincluding sleeves having overlapping inner edges at an opening in thefront of the jacket, the sleeves and the body of the Jacket being ofsufiicient size to fit loosely on the body of a wearer of the jacketthus permitting freedom of body movements in applying facial Cosmeticswith the inner edges of the jaclet remaining in overlapped relationship.

With the foregoing and other objects in view, reference is now made tothe following specification and accompanying drawings in which thepreferred embodiments of the invention a're illustrated.

In the drawings:

Figure 1 is a front view of the make-up jacket constructed in accordancewith the invention.

Figure 2 is a rear view thereof.

Figure 3 is a sectional view taken on line 3-3 of Figure 1, showing thetype of seam employed at all edges of the jacket.

Figure 4 is a fragmentary view of a modified construction of a sleeveused with the jacket of Figures 1 and 2.

Referring to the drawings 'by character of reference, i il is themake-up jacket which comp'rises a rear panel |2 and opposite side panelsI4 and l forming the front of the jacket iii. The opposite edges of therear panel 12 are turned inwardly and the abutting edges of the panelslt and E6 are turned inwardly and then these abutting inturned edges ofthe rear panel IZ and the side panels iii. and i are stitched togetheras at IB. At the opposite upper sides of the rear panel E2,three-quarters length sleeves 28 have their inner edges turned in toabut turned in edges of the rear panel l2 and side panels M and Hirespectively and the abutting edges of the sleeves and panels arestitched together.

The rear panel i2 and side panels li and lt are .of sufficient size toprovide a garment of a size which will t loosely on the body of womenpermitting freedom of body movement for the wearer of the jacket it. Thesleeves 20 are oversized in-relation to the size of the ladies, armswearing the jacket I El so that there is great freedom of movement forthe arms in the sleeves mi. There is a neck opening 22 provided by therear panel i2 and the opposite side panels M and ie. Also a medialopening 215 is formed between the inner edges e and 28 of the sidepanels IG and Hi respectively which extends from the neck opening 22 tothe bottom edge of the side panels M and IG. The inner edges 26 and 28of the side panels IG and [4 respectively normally overlap in asubstantial overlapped separated relation as at 29 when worn by theladies using the make-up jacket id. The loosely tting body of the jacketle and also the loosely fitting sleeves 2d permits a lady Wearing theJacket li! to apply facial Cosmetics with great freedom of body and armmovements With the overlapped inner edges 25-28 remaining in theiroverlapped relationship and as a consequence there is no likelihood ofthe lady Wearing the make-up jacekt soiling her dress.

The inner edges 28 and 28 of the panels 16 and lt respectively, thebottom edges of the rear panel iz and side panels lli and lt, also theedges of the neck opening 22 as well as the lower edge of the sleeves 20are lapped over on the outside of these panels and on the outside of thesleeves as at 3B. Then a narrow trim 32 overlies all of these lappededges 30 with a portion 3d of the trim 32 extending over the outsidesurface of the panels and sleeves as at 36. A hidden stitch means 33secures the trim to the lapped portion 30 of the panels etc. and theabutting portion of the panels and sleeves. A second stitch means wsecures the extended portion 34 of the trim 32 to the abutting portionof the panels etc. The trim 32 overlying these lapped edges 3B of thepanels and sleeves etc. prevents raveling of the material of the paneleand sleeves and also provides a neat appearing jacket IO.

In Figure 4 sleeve 50 is provided with a relatively short upwardlyextending slit 52 formed at its lower edge, and the slit 52 in thissleeve is to provide additional freedom of movement for the arms of alady wearing the loosely fitting jacket with the loosely fittingsleeves.

The jacket 1B being of a size to loosely fit the 'body of a wearerthereof and providing overlapping edges 25 and 28 of the side panels IBand M when being worn by a lady, all fastening means for securing theopening together at the front 01 the Jacket may be eliminated.

The jacket may be made of cotton, gingham, percale, or any otherappropriate materials.

While the jacket has been described for makeup purposes, the same may beused to protect ones garments while having a hair Shampoo. Furthermore,such changes in structure and de'- sign as come within the scope of theappended claim may be resorted to if desired without departing from thespirit of the invention.

Having thus described the invention, what I claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent of the United States is:

A make-up jacket comprising in combination a body portion consisting ofa back panel and front panels and including sleeves, the front panele ofthe body portion arranged with their inner edges disposed insubstantially overlapped separated relationship with respect to eachother to provide an overlapped opening at the front of the make-upjacket, the bottom most edge of the overlapped portions of the body'being as wide as the width of the major length of the overlap, the bodyportion being of suficient size to be loosely worn on the body of awearer of the make-up jacket, the said sleeves being of sufilcient sizeto be loosely worn on the arms of the wearer of the make-up jacket, eachof the sleeves having a relatively short upwardly extending slit formedat its lower edge to enhance freedom of movement of the arms of thewearer of the make-up jacket, the loosely fitting body of the make-upJacket in combination with the loosely fitting slit sleeves permittingrelatively great body movement by the wearer of the make-up jacket sothat the wearer of the make-up jacket may apply facial Cosmetics withfacility and whereby the overlapped inner edges of the body portionremain in their substantially overlapped separated relationship withrespect to each other.
